Life Is Good (Explicit)

7digitalWhat we said:While professionally Nas has never been afraid of courting controversy, in the past four years the only thing he’s been hitting the headlines with is his private life. Off the back of high-profile spats with the taxman and Kelis, we’re not surprised the hip hop heavyweight looks somewhat subdued, clutching his ex-wife’s wedding dress on the cover of his comeback. Sonically, Life Is Good tells an entirely different story. Because whether exploring his soulful side with Amy Winehouse on ‘Cherry Wine’, or bringing it back to his roots with the ferocious, no-frills banger ‘The Don’, Nas sounds fired-up and inspired throughout.
